Hi: I am developing a input routine in perl that will take a SQL exported file in tab delimited format and convert it to something that our mainframe can process. The file will ultimately have 255 characters for each field.
I have been successful in replacing the tabs with comma's, but now need to make sure there are 255 characters per field. I also need to filter data out of the exported file that will be dropped before it gets to the mainframe (unused fields). My question is, would it be wise to pull the field into a database and then do an export on just the fields I need or something else?? tia, -Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
